ITINERÂNCIAS DA ANTROPOLOGIA: PRÁTICAS PRESENTES E FUTUROS POSSÍVEIS [Session in Portuguese]

Coordination: Simone Frangella
Speakers: Antônio Carlos de Souza Lima (UFRJ), Humberto Martins (UTAD/CRIA - UMinho), Cristina Santinho (ISCTE), Lurdes Pequito (Esc Sec R D Leonor), Miriam Grossi (UFSC), Vítor Matos (U Évora)

Esta sessão foi pensada enquanto fórum de antropologia, como uma assembleia alargada da APA em que o público é convidado a participar amplamente ao longo de três eixos de itinerância da nossa disciplina: os futuros da antropologia, com os espectros dos autoritarismos e fascismos emergentes e crise climática já em curso; a vertente de antropologia pública em combinação com as vertentes de investigação e ensino; e as colaborações possíveis – entre comunidades de antropologia e entre parceiros na produção de conhecimento. Colegas participantes no congresso generosamente aceitaram o convite para integrar o fórum e lançar a discussão a partir destes eixos e questionamentos. Perspectivando o futuro teremos Antônio Carlos de Souza Lima (UFRJ), para os autoritarismos emergentes, e Humberto Martins (UTAD/CRIA - UMinho), para os futuros ambientais. Cristina Santinho (ISCTE) abordará a intervenção pública a partir do trabalho com refugiados, e Lurdes Pequito (Esc Sec R D Leonor) focará o ensino da antropologia no secundário. Para os caminhos de colaboração teremos Miriam Grossi (UFSC), na dimensão colaborações internacionais, e Vítor Matos (U Évora), para as colaborações entre as sub-áreas da antropologia e com comunidades. E o público, membros da APA e quem mais estiver presente, alimentará este debate de itinerâncias e permanências.
